What is the difference between a Certification Statement (Form 183) and a Certification of Identification Form (Form 186)?
The Certification Statement (Form 183) is the paper certification required by ECFMG for applicants who are students enrolled in medical schools that do not participate in EMSWP. A new Form 183 is generated with each on-line application. Form 183 must be completed by the student and an authorized medical school official for each on-line application, or the application will be rejected. See Applying for Examination. The Certification of Identification Form (Form 186) is the paper certification required by ECFMG for applicants who are medical school graduates or students enrolled in medical schools that participate in EMSWP. Form 186 must be completed by the applicant and an authorized official. Once accepted by ECFMG, Form 186 remains valid for five years. During this five-year period, eligible students and graduates may submit on-line exam applications and requests to extend Step 1 and Step 2 CK eligibility periods without completing another paper certification.
